Why such popularity?
Like many fashion trends that come back, but with a slight twist, garments with color-blocking patterns are back. This was a very popular pattern in fashion in the ‘80s when designers experimented with a variety of color schemes and textiles. Designers of this era drew their inspiration from the Dutch designer Pier Mondrian, considered the father of color blocking patterns. Just like the renewed popularity of color blocking schemes in contemporary architecture, which again was inspired by mid-century motifs, colorful cardigan sweaters are becoming a must-have accessory these days. Considering their light but cozy blends of fabrics, modern designs, attractive pricing, and coziness factor, it is no surprise that these sweaters are now trending in the news and on social media.
Celebrity Factor
One such cardigan drew huge media attention and is still under the spotlight. Former singer of One Direction band was spotted wearing Johnatan Anderson’s patchwork, checkerboard colorful cardigan and the sweater became a sensation overnight. Other styles of color-block patterns have been selling more than ever before, especially chunky long dusters, but the Irish designer’s cardigan is being copied by everyone. Knitters and craftsmen of all ages are downloading these knitting patterns.
The Irish designer even said in a recent interview with CNN that “It’s been incredible to see everyone knitting the cardigan on their own and with the pattern we released and to see so many people making it their own.” This very cardigan, worn by Harry Styles was recently acquired by the world-famous museum of Art and Design in Ireland. Various young artists continue to sport trendy cardigans, making this garment increasingly more popular amongst young people.
The popularity of cardigan sweaters increased in 2020 and 2021 due to their versatility. Many stylists consider them to be the best WFH (Work From Home) garments. Even before Styles’ performance in a color-block cardigan, these sweaters were some of the best-selling knitwear garments not only on Amazon but various other e-boutiques. We have listed some of the most popular styles in the tables below. Please click on the thumbnail image to view the large photo and sizing info.
